RECIPE BACKSTORY

When living in Japan, we did not have cake mixes. So I learned to find recipes that I could find ingredients for. Missionary friends, Joan Stoller and her sister, Mary Lou Ellison also had the Kiron Church Cookbook. Joan told me which were the best recipes. She loved this recipe. It also makes 30 cupcakes. It is Lila Gustafson's recipe. It was good to see her at Hannah's graduation. She came from assisted living with her daughter.
